Earlier this year we tested the first enterprise-SSD with 3D XPoint-memory. It broke nearly every speed record, and now this technology is finally available to regular consumers. It does cost a lot, but it offers extreme performance...

Last month, WD introduced the second generation of its Black series of SSDs. This top model of the storage manufacturer should be much faster than its predecessor and therefore be serious competition for the Samsung 970 Evo.

After more than three years, the popular Samsung 850 Evo and Pro SATA SSDs finally get a successor. Today Samsung introduces the 860 Evo and Pro. Is there still room for innovation in the field of SATA SSDs, or have we reached a stalemate?

As if they had matched it up, Samsung and Crucial will both present new series of SATA SSDs this month. The Crucial MX500 recently arrived in the Hardware.Info test lab and in this article you can read all about it.

Kingston have sent us their extremely expensive SSD with performance promises one could only dream of: maximum read speeds of almost 7 GB per second (!) and write speeds of 6 GB per second. We have put it through its paces.

The fact that the prices of SSDs have gone up is pretty annoying if you have to purchase an SSD right now. This is why we take a look at all current sata SSDs. Which SSD should you purchase and what can you save on, especially now?

The M.2 form factor has a bit of a heat issue, particularly in the desktop environment. Modules are usually mounted parallel to the motherboard, where they have precious little airflow. Team claims to have the solotion with their Carea SSD.
